CFL not until September

[John Wick]

Forget soccer and the Raptors considered to be appealing to diversity, let's talk the Leafs in an overwhelmingly traditional white sport, when they are in the playoffs the whole city, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity and gender lose their minds. It's nowhere near the same for the Argos, proving that they are not relevant anymore in Toronto, move them out of this city and don't give a cent of tax payer money to a pro sports league.

I agree. If you have an outstanding product, people of all stripes will beat a quick, regular, and rabid path to your door. Fact is, CFL football is not a product enough people find attractive or desirable, which is why it has been dying for many many years. What we are seeing now is simply its final 'death roll' at the bottom of the pool.

Well "outstanding product" is hardly anything the Leafs have produced in large amounts over the span of decades :biggrin: But seriously a series of bad business decisions, like I have previously mentioned, I am in my mid 40's my clear memory of the CFL back in the 80's and 90's were the blackouts, this league literally handed us over to the NFL as kids when we were first getting into sports. They lost an entire generation because of that dumb decision, instead of drawing us in and keeping us as life long fans, we switched over to the NFL, I am sorry but my connection to the Buffalo Bills that were on every Sunday afternoon is much stronger than the Argos, who I recall being approached in the early 90's at al local strip mall in North York, by a dude who was a salesman for the team trying to sell tickets in packages!! How sad of a sports league do you have to be to do that.... and now they want our tax dollars??? you gotta be kidding me!!!
